Have your cup of coffee and eat it too

KFC to introduce edible coffee cups in the UK

KFC will soon test an edible cup made out of wafer coated in sugar paper and lined with heat resistant white chocolate, The New York Times reported yesterday.

The cup will be introduced around the same time KFC plans on introducing the Seattle’s Best Coffee brand at its restaurants in the UK.

The “Scoff-ee Cup”, USA Today reports, was made in partnership with the Robin Collective, a London-based food science specialist.

“Not only do the edible cups taste amazing, but they smell delicious, too,” a Robin Collective designer Brandy Wright said in a statement.

Wright says the cups will be dosed with ambient aromas like “Coconut Sun Cream,” “Freshly Cut Grass” and “Wild Flowers” to evoke memories of warm weather, sun and summer holidays.
